Here's the scoop: When playing games I just get started and within 10 minutes the system freezes up tight, can't cntrl-alt-del, nothing. Have to hard boot.
System: AMD 900Mhz
256megs Crucial RAM pc133
Soundblaster Live card
Geforce2 64meg pro
running WinME
Specific games, Diablo2, Star Trek Elite Force, Half-Life, The Sims, and Quake 2
Things I've tried,
changed out the RAM, sound card, video card, and updated all drivers, checked for heat problems but the system runs well below critical levels.
Last thing, the system is 100% stable other than playing games. I can pound on excel, word, etc. Leave it on forever with no problems. Surf the web, downloads, anything and everything... I just can't play games. It is driving me insane.
Is there a way to log what is happening when I am playing so I can see what's up?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Computers and Power Tools, what else do you need?
